SWIMMING: Santiago raises bar at Mt. SAC Meet of Champions

Six school records and one meet record fell on Saturday as the Corona Santiago swim team turned in an all-time best performance at the Mt. San Antonio High School Meet of Champions.

It's a meet the Sharks typically excel at, having won the compsoite team title all four years. Saturday's finals swims raised the bar considerably, though.

Santiago defended its overall title, as did the varsity boys and junior varsity girls. The Sharks junior varsity boys also tied for the team title in a best-ever finish and the varsity girls took fifth.

"I'm ecstatic with the results," Sharks coach Matt White said. "For the most part, we had huge drops."

Jace Hong continued his fantastic season with school-record wins in the 50-yard freestyle (21.25) and the 100 free (46.06) for the varsity boys.

Sophomore Mirai Adams broke two school records in taking fifth in the 200 free (1:53.70) and fourth in the 100 free (52.50), while varsity girls teammates Brooke Miles (100 fly, 58.28) and Brittney Miles (100 back, 58.30) also set new school marks.

Hong, Josh Evans, Donald Young and Brandon Roth won the 200-free relay in a meet-record 1:26.76.
